”Get up Melpomene, it's a bit aard if you stay prostrated like that”
”No, I won't move until master accepts me”-1
”Are you testing my patience?”
”I know tooyour temperament it is likely that unless you accept me you'd kill me off I can only wait like this, Master”
”Are you doing all this because of the prophecy which your brother foretold?”
”Maybe at first, but now it is entirely out of my own free will”
”H to the prophecy or your own free will?”
”How can I prove it to you? I si on my own free will”
”Who's to say that your so called free will hasn't already been determined by the prophecy?”
”I' any knowledge of the prophecy”
”Why would that be? I am simply your owner If we didn't have this slavery contract binding us, wouldn't we just be strangers?”
”We've already slept together”
”If that's soether”
”When you chose me I already became yours”
”That's only because on the slave contract If it were another master it would be the same ”
”I am blind”
”I' sympathy here?”
””No, just that when choosing a slave, it's normal to pick one which has a useful ability”
”As you said, I am a pervert”
”Hm, were you insulted by those remarks?”
”I'd be lying if I said no”
”Fine then, I was mostly curious as to why your voice would appear to shi+ne so brightly when you were talking to me”
”shi+ne?”
”Although I can't see, when you talk to me I can feel your voice is more brilliant than any others”
”Didn't you say I sounded perverted?”
”That was just a lie I used to hidemaster voice I had already decided to follow you”
”What is that supposed to mean?”
”I just wanted to knohat kind of a person could have such a unique voice”
”Maybe it's just the way I sound”
”No, it doesn't have anything to do with the tone or pitch, but soth”
”Can it be that it's because of the prophecy you've heard from your brother?”
”No, instead ust I was fated to be with a repulsive and evil undead creature with the fate of the world hanging in the balance”
”Why does that sound like some kind of demon?”
”Right, knowing that iven up on my future, but ever since I've ed The way you spoke to big sis and I, it was the most beautiful voice I'd ever heard
”Don't talk like that, it's too much”
”Let's just say that ever since I've been cursed, I've always regretted having lost my ability to see It was only when I met you and heard your unique voice that for the first time I felt blessed to be blind I don't care if I die now, I just seek your acceptance”
I looked down at her once more She knew far tooinfluenced by so that prophecy? Just ere the exact contents of that prophecy in the first place?
This prophecy which had been made by Teireisias was too much of an unknown factor Nox was sealed and Prince Ardal was imprisoned in my very own manor
Can we alter a prophecy? By knowing the future shouldn't it be possible to change it? How can an unchangeable future even exist?
An endless questions of existentialism swirled within me
Closing my eyes, I asked myself
'I don't knohich choice is the right one It seeardless which one I choose I'll be fettered to a predestined prophecy And what if I decide not to choose at all, hoould that affect the future?'
Opening my eyes, I look back down to Melpomene and speak out
”I can't accept you for now Instead you will continue to serve bya close eye on you”
”Ah, so in the end it went through as expected”
Inside of me I cried out in frustration Was it already predestined that I would put off this choice? Just what does the future hold in store?
”Yes, get up now Melpomene”
”Ye…s, Master”
Grabbing her heart in pain, she shot up to her feet It was because as her owner, I had used her name to issue a command
”I don't yet know you well enough, and because you've hidden your brother's prophecy from me I can't trust you If it were entirely up to me you wouldn't live to see another day, but since you are so close with Viezda, I wouldn't want to see her get hurt In the future you can't reveal any offrom me Is that understood, Melpomene?”
”Yes, I promise Don't worry, I won't betray you even if it costs me my life”
